Exploring the potential of CoMoO-modified graphitic carbon nitride to boost oxidation of amoxicillin micropollutants in hospital wastewater.

This study investigates the removal of amoxicillin micropollutants (AM) from hospital wastewater using CoMoO-modified graphitic carbon nitride (CMO/gCN). Consequently, CMO/gCN exhibits notable improvements in visible light absorption and electron-hole separation rates compared to unmodified gCN. Besides, CMO/gCN significantly enhances the removal efficiency of AM, attaining an impressive 96.

Photodegradation of ciprofloxacin antibiotic in water by using ZnO-doped g-CN photocatalyst.

Ciprofloxacin antibiotic (CIP) is one of the antibiotics with the highest rate of antibiotic resistance, if used and managed improperly, can have a negative impact on the ecosystem. In this research, ZnO modified g-CN photocatalyst was prepared and applied for the decomposition of CIP antibiotic compounds in water. The removal performance of CIP by using ZnO/g-CN reached 93.

Moisturizing effectiveness of immediate compared with delayed moisturization.

Introduction: Moisturizers play an essential role in maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier by increasing stratum corneum hydration (SCH) and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). According to dermatology and allergy guidelines, moisturizers should be applied on the skin within 3 min after bathing or showering. However, there is very little evidence supporting this recommendation.
